    ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONIST CERAMICS

    Coplans, John. Irvine & San Francisco, CA: Art Gallery, University of California, Irvine & Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1966. First Edition 1/1000. Small Square 4to. Pictorial Wrappers. Exhibition Catalog. Very Good.. 54pp, 47 b&w and 8 color illustrations + cover. Designed by James Turrell. Published in conjunction with the seminal 1966 University of California, Irvine survey of West Coast artists affiliated with Peter Voulkos and his pioneering work at the Ceramic Center at Otis Art Institute and the University of California, Berkeley, this John Coplans curated catalogue coined the term "Abstract Expressionist Ceramics". The pivotal figure here is Voulkos, but also included are Billy Al Bengston, Michael Frimkess, John Mason, Malcolm McClain, James Melchert, Ron Nagle, Manuel Neri, Kenneth Price, and Henry Takemoto. An internally bright, most handsome example of this uncommon and highly important document designed by then-UC Irvine faculty member James Turrell limited to one thousand unnumbered copies showing some light wear and creasing to the extremities of the covers.
